The Longjing Venerable's return this time was very high-profile.

The news had already spread Chaos City the moment they emerged from the Initial Universe passage.

The Space-Rending King's contribution was undoubtedly significant.

Chaos City, Nine Universes Tower.

This is the residence of the Black Mist King in Chaos City. It has nine floors. When the Black Mist King built it, she made a vow that she would live on the floor corresponding to the number of diagrams she comprehended on the Nine Universes Chaos Stele.

In the main hall on the seventh floor of the Nine Universes Tower, True Yan King, King Long Yu, and Black Mist King were discussing the mysteries of the Chaos Stele.

This is a habit they've cultivated over countless years: the three learn from and improve together, and whenever one of them encounters a bottleneck, the other two will do their utmost to help. Although True Yan King's Law Comprehension has now surpassed that of the two, and he rarely receives help anymore, he has not forgotten his initial promise. Whether it's Black Mist King or King Long Yu encountering problems, he will always make time to come and discuss solutions together.

" Black Mist King, you've walked into a dead end yourself. Have you figured it out yet?"

True Yan King took out a pot of fine wine, took a sip, and asked with a smile.

"I've figured it out. It's all thanks to you, Master Zhen Yan, that you found the key issue so quickly. If it weren't for your guidance, this problem would probably have troubled me for at least several thousand epochs."

"You're welcome. The two of you helped me a lot back then. Without our three-person study group, my progress wouldn't have been so fast... King Long Yu, please don't stand on ceremony, feel free to ask me any questions."

"Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you, Zhen Yan?" King Long Yu, dressed in a green gauze robe, smiled faintly.

"Haha, it's nothing. Reviewing the old helps one understand the new. As you all know, my Law Comprehension has almost reached its limit. Besides studying secret techniques, I don't know what else to do... Maybe one day, discussing it with you will inspire me and I might break through to the Universe Venerable in one fell swoop."

True Yan King laughed heartily, showing a very good attitude.

suddenly.

King Long Yu showed a hint of surprise and turned to look in the direction of the Cosmic Passage.

" King Long Yu, what are you doing? Does the Nine Swords Venerable have something else for you to do?"

"I asked curiously, "True Yan King asked.

"This..." King Long Yu glanced at True Yan King, somewhat embarrassed. "You'll find out soon enough, won't you?"

"What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious? Just tell me already, you're driving me crazy!" True Yan King said impatiently.

"Yes, King Long Yu, since we'll all find out soon, what's the point of hiding it? Tell us quickly."

The Black Mist King also spoke up from the side.

"Then I'll say it..." King Long Yu glanced at True Yan King, then said, "I just learned some news from the Nine Swords Venerable ' group chat: the Dragon Whale King, who obtained the Ancestral God Religion's Inheritance Token a few years ago, has returned, and he has broken through to the Universe Venerable realm."

"What! The Dragon Whale King has become Universe Venerable! This is unbelievable!"

The Black Mist King also glanced at the True Yan King, finally understanding why the King Long Yu had been so hesitant and reluctant to speak earlier.

Both the Dragon Whale King and the True Yan King are renowned and invincible powerhouses among the Human Race, holding the Invincible King.

In terms of strength, True Yan King is superior, and his talent is also more outstanding. After all, the Dragon True Yan King Dragon Whale King has lived for over a trillion epochs, making him an absolute ancient being to them, even Elder Gu than some Universe Venerable.

Logically speaking, the probability of True Yan King breaking through to the Universe Venerable level should be far greater than that of Dragon Whale King, but unexpectedly, Dragon Whale King took this step first.

"Hehehe... It's nothing, it's nothing. Our Human Race has a new Universe Venerable, and he's from the lineage of my Virtual Universe Company. We should be happy! Come... let's drink..."

True Yan King forced a smile.

Black Mist King and King Long Yu exchanged a glance but offered no words of comfort. They simply kept drinking with True Yan King.

Virtual Universe... Ape-man Race Temple...

After receiving the message from King Long Yu, True Yan King's consciousness arrived here.

The Dragon Whale King has broken through to the level of Universe Venerable.

How could he not be anxious?

If even the Dragon Whale King could break through, it means that the effects of the Ancestral God Religion's inheritance are far more powerful than he imagined.

If he can obtain a Inheritance Token, his probability of breaking through to the Universe Venerable will greatly increase.

Although he didn't have high hopes, he still found his teacher.

"Teacher, the Dragon Whale King has returned to the Initial Universe; he has become Universe Venerable."

The thin, Old Ape-man Race leader, covered in black fur, sighed softly, " Zhen Yan, I know what you're thinking, but I truly don't have the power to get you that Inheritance Token."

Even the Dragon Whale King talent was inferior to his disciple's, became Universe Venerable. How could the Ape-man Race leader not know what his disciple was thinking?

"Teacher... is there really no hope at all? Didn't you say before that I only need to pay half the value of the Inheritance Token, and the clan will bestow one upon me? Teacher, please help me this once, consider it a Inheritance Token from me. Once I break through to the Universe Venerable, I will repay you double in the future."

True Yan King asked, still somewhat unwilling.

"No." The old Old ape shook his head again. He explained, "You've been cultivating in Chaos City, so you don't know much about the affairs of your race. The vast Ape-man Race has countless branches... To cultivate the geniuses of those branches, each era requires a huge amount of resources. Take your Kahuns Race for example... Have you, the strongest member of the Kahuns Race, ever contributed any of the race's resources? It's all borne by me, the leader. How many branches like your Kahuns Race are there in our Ape-man Race? More than ten thousand!"

"When I recently upgraded the clan's holy temple, I sold several True Treasure to provide those little ones with a better cultivation environment... If you need two or three Ordinary Heavy Treasure, I won't be stingy. However, even at half the value of the Inheritance Token, it still requires nearly two thousand True Treasure Points. Where would I possibly come from?"

"Teacher, it was my fault. I will take responsibility for the Kahuns Race in the future."

Although True Yan King was dejected, he knew that what his teacher said was true. His teacher was indeed Universe Venerable, but among Universe Venerable, his strength was not considered great. He also shouldered the heavy responsibility of the entire Ape-man Race, and all the pressure was on his teacher...

He was able to cultivate in Chaos City for so long without distraction because his clan didn't need him to worry about them.

" Zhen Yan..." The Ape-man Race chieftain sighed and said, "I know you're anxious. Wait a little longer. When the tribe is better off, I'll help you apply again. Perhaps there'll be a sliver of a chance."

"Master, I understand!"

The birth of a Universe Venerable among Human Race is an extremely important event, especially since this lucky individual was previously Invincible King.

Therefore, after breaking through to the Universe Venerable, one's strength must be considerable.

The news began to spread throughout Chaos City.

Chaos City also gathered many powerful figures and geniuses from the five major human forces, and the news quickly spread throughout the five major forces.

While countless people were filled with envy, the powerful began to pay more attention to the lineage of the Ganwu Country Lord.

One Universe Venerable and two Universe Venerable are completely different concepts.

A single Universe Venerable must remain in the Universe Country or family, but with two Universe Venerable, one can be freed up to go on an adventure, greatly enhancing both resource accumulation and deterrence.

The key is the Ganwu Country Lord, and another top genius, Lu Qingshan. Although he doesn't show off, he is also at the Peak King realm. With his cultivation speed, he might break through to the Universe Venerable realm one day. In that case, the Ganwu Lineage will have three Universe Venerable.

Thinking of this, many people were green with envy, secretly cursing the old man Ganwu Country Lord, for being so lucky!

Golden Billow Universe Country, Barnes Starfield.

"The teacher summoned me?"

The Demon Heart King's consciousness, which was dealing with family affairs, entered the Virtual Universe and arrived at the exclusive plane of his teacher, the Dark Demon Venerable.

"Teacher."

The Demon Heart King bowed respectfully.

" Demon Heart, how's your investigation going regarding the matter from last time? Any results?" the Dark Demon Venerable asked.

"Ah." Demon Heart King didn't expect his teacher to pay attention to this matter. Last time, he thought his teacher had just mentioned it casually.

He dared not be perfunctory and quickly said, "Teacher, after hearing your analysis last time, I went back and investigated. It seems that Suo Er really has some problems. After he went to Golden Billow Star, he disappeared. I used some information about him from before to find his Divine Kingdom Divine Kingdom, only to find that it was shattered and he was dead."

"It was probably murder to silence them." The Dark Demon Venerable said seriously, "Did you mention this to the Myriad Laws King of the Virtual Universe Company?"

"No, it was just speculation, there was no evidence to prove it, so I didn't tell him about it."

In truth, Demon Heart King did not want to tell the King of Myriad Laws King, after all, the last time the Bloodthirsty King almost wiped out a branch of his family.

" Demon Heart, the Dragon Whale King, the senior brother of the Myriad Laws King, has broken through to the Universe Venerable realm. He was previously Invincible King, and after his breakthrough, his strength is probably not much weaker than mine. The Dragon Whale King only had the opportunity to break through to the Universe Venerable with the help of the Myriad Laws King. If you don't resolve this grudge in time, and if the Myriad Laws King mentions to the Longjing Venerable that you injured his disciple, then..."

The Dark Demon Venerable didn't say much more, knowing his disciple should understand.

"Master, I understand. I will now compile the entire story and send it to the Myriad Laws King, and apologize to him."

The Demon Heart King quickly spoke up.

He was not afraid of King-level Immortal.

But the Universe Venerable...

That person was on par with his teacher; if they came knocking, they could wipe out the entire Barnes Family, and he wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

If he cannot resolve the grudge in time, he will not only offend a Peak King, but also a Universe Venerable, and even leave a bad impression on his teacher because of this.

"It's good that you know what's important. I don't think that Myriad Laws King is an unreasonable person. After understanding the details, he shouldn't hold it against you. In the future, you should use your brain more and not fall into other people's traps."

"Disciple understands."

The Demon Heart King knelt on the ground, not daring to refute.

The Initial Universe Qingshan Residence.

Lu Qingshan looked at his second senior brother, who was dressed in a golden robe and exuded a spirited air, and showed a speechless expression.

This second senior brother is far too high-profile.

He had barely entered Chaos City when the entire Chaos City was already abuzz with excitement, and even he received congratulatory messages from several friends.

At this moment, even those geniuses below the Immortal who cultivate in Chaos City probably know that the Human Race has gained a great Universe Venerable.

"Junior Brother Qingshan, when we met in the Virtual Universe last time, I mentioned that I brought you a bottle of fine wine this time. Take a look and see if you like it."

The Dragon Whale King placed a large bottle of bright red wine on the table.

Lu Qingshan glanced at it and showed a surprised expression.

"It's actually Purple Fire Ape Wine... Second Senior Brother has gone to great lengths."

"Haha, it's nothing. I have connections in the Ancestral God Religion Sect and can buy directly from the Purple Fire Ape. There are no middlemen taking a cut. If you need it in the future, I can help you buy it for you at least 30% cheaper."

"Okay, thank you, senior brother."

Lu Qingshan expressed his gratitude and accepted the Purple Fire Ape Wine, but he did not voice the words hidden in his heart.

The connections my senior brother has within the Ancestral God Religion are, in fact, his own!

That's right, it was through the Ghost King Avatar's connections that the Dragon Whale King purchased this bottle of wine from the Special Lifeform, the Purple Fire Ape.
